| The Everest Award acknowledges the successful return-to-work of injured workers who have suffered a disability. |
||||
| October, 2003 was the fourth annual Everest Award ceremony with
special speaker Gary Cullen. Gary climbed Mt. Everest with one arm and
represented a group of climbers with various disabilities that had
joined him on the trek to the final ascent. Gary told their most
inspiring story and presented a slide show of the trek made in May of
2003. He is the only person with one arm to ever summit the world's
highest peak. Gary has challenged both children and adults to reach
beyond what they perceive as their limitations and to succeed.
Award certificates were given by: Tom McClintock, California Senator; Lois Capps, U.S. Congress; Hannah-Beth Jackson, California Assembly; and Abel Maldonado, California Assembly. A black marble, engraved trophy was presented by the Everest Award committee. Thank you to all who made the awards night magical and continue to help me climb my mountain! |
